Six product categories that make Simpson Strong-Tie the professional's choice for structural connectors, fasteners, and anchoring systems.
Joist Hangers
Industry-leading joist hangers engineered for maximum load capacity. From standard to heavy-duty, Simpson joist hangers meet or exceed code requirements for residential and commercial construction.
Concrete & Masonry Anchors
Engineered anchoring systems for concrete, block, and brick. Wedge anchors, mechanical anchors, and adhesive systems with ICC-ES evaluation reports for code-compliant installations.
Structural Screws
Strong-Drive structural screws replace lag bolts and through-bolts in many applications. Engineered for structural connections with published load values and code listings.
Hurricane Ties & Straps
Essential wind-resistance connectors for Florida construction. Hurricane ties, strap ties, and hold-downs designed to keep structures intact during extreme wind events.
Post Bases & Caps
Adjustable and fixed post bases that elevate wood above concrete to prevent moisture damage. Post caps for beam-to-post connections with engineered load ratings.
Moment Frames & Angles
Reinforcing angles and Strong Frame moment frames for lateral-force resistance. Engineered solutions that eliminate the need for plywood shear walls in open floor plans.
